HEINE BROTHERS, CONTRACTORS, beg to state that it will now be too late for receiving TICKETS before the Three First Days of Drawing of the 67th HAMBURG GREAT LOTTERY; but Tickets warranted un drawn will sell between the third and fourth days at Ten Pounds. The largest Capital Prize cannot be drawn before the fourth day, as per Scheme. In February, en approach of the fourth day, the price will con siderably advance, wherefore it is recommended to order in the course of this month. a few of the most noted Tory hot-beds, where the struggle between parties was pretty equally divided last election, and says not a word about the numerous bo roughs where, as the Register shows, Toryism has, within the year, been not merely declining, hut abso lutely extinguished. No, he is far too discreet to make any embarrassing allusions of this sort ; though, despite his discretion, his apprehensions creep out, when, notwithstanding his boasts of the great Conservative gains, he strenuously objects to a dissolution. Why all this alternate vaunt and timidity —confidence and distrust—on the part of the leading organ of the Tories ?—Simply because he has not the slightest faith in the energies of that faction whose cause he has so disinterestedly taken up ; simply be cause he feels that the ground is fast crumbling be neath them ; and that impudence—that immeasurable impudence which desperation gives—can alone save diem. Reformers ! in the waverings—the inconsisten cies—the craven fear—the unblushing effrontery of the Times journal (all springing from the same source) you may read the difficulties which oppress the Tory party. In that organ, their hopes, their doubts, their caprices, are faithfully reflected, as in a mirror. Profit then by their embarrassments. Turn their apprehen sions to your own account. The hour is close at hand when you will be called on to summon all your best energies. Never was there an epoch so fraught with momentous results to all classes of the com munity, as the approaching session. Hitherto, we have seen much bush-fighting between Tories and Reformers ; but now, we are to see a close, desperate conflict, which will be as decisive as that of Waterloo. There can be no more staving off of great questions. The Irish Church Appropriation Act Must be settled ; and on the result of this hangs the destinies of the Tories. Again and again then we say to the Reform Members, be constant in your attend ance in Parliament. Remember that your constituents have their eyes rivetted on you,—and will be sure to log every instance of indolence or forgetfulness on your parts. Be diligent then—be uncompromising—and let the hustings be ever present to your minds.

IP, A . ~Y3 ~ _ ~.~ ~~-~ Zl)r LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 20, 1836. The Meeting of the Birmingham Political Union has put an end—so far as that town is concerned—to the prattle about a re-action, with which the Conser vatives have been amusing themselves for some weeks past. They now see, plain enough, that nothing of the sort has been in progress ; and that though some few of the inhabitants, whose respectability is more to'bc commended than their wisdom, may have become pro selytes to the specious creed of Toryism, yet that the vast mass of the population of Birmingham are Refor mers, to the utmost extent to which Reform can safely be carried. This must be a sad shock to the totter ing Tories, for they had reckoned confidently on the support of the mid-land metropolis ; and it is scarcely a month since they were expatiating on the altered tone of its public fealing, with a fervor and vivacity which testified how deeply they felt the value of such a re cantation. Now, however, that they have discovered their mistake—and that Birmingham, protest and promise as they may, will have nothing to do with them—they find out also, that her support is not worth talking about; and that the grapes which a month ago, were passing sweet, are now just as sour. Mark the language of to-day's Times on the subject ! " After reading over the report of the Birmingham mob-meeting of Monday, we have been compelled to give up as hopeless the attempt to find, in the configuration of that enlightened assembly, or in the compositions of the orators on whom devolved the superfluous office of instructing it, a single circumstance, sentiment, or characteristic, worthy of any particle of notice ;''—in other words, Birmingham will not allow herself to be duped by the honied profes sions of the Tories—as a short time since these shrewd intriguers hoped she would be—and, therefore, Bir mingham is not worth the slightest further considera tion. Oh rare }Esop, how aptly thy well-known apologue of the fox and grapes applies here ! But though Birmingham be given up as incurable, our Ccontemporary is still full of confidence in the energies of Toryism, as will be seen from the following article, entitled " Numerical State of Parties," which appears in the Times of this day : The following calculation has been made as to the probable result in England and Wales of the changes attendant upon an immediate dissolution : CONSERVATIVE GAIN. St. Alban's Middlesex West Kent East Surrey Radnorshire Guilford Newport (Isle of Wight) 1 West Somerset Wigan 1 East Worcestershire Wakefield Poole Weymouth I South Nottinghamshire 1 Monmouth Lewes Peterborough CONSERVATIVE LOSS East Cumberland Rochdale Halifax Leicester L Yarmouth Bridport Norwich Colchester Knaresborough The Paris Papers of Monday bring us a rather unexpected piece of intelligence—the resignation of M. HUMANN. That Minister tendered his Porte feuile on Saturday ; on Sunday the KING was pleased to aceept it ; and on Monday it was announced in the Chamber of Deputies that the Count D'ARGOUT had been appointed his successor. In the discussion which followed, M. HUMANS informed the Deputies that he had long meditated the reduction of the national debt of France ; that he thought the present a favour able opportunity for taking measures for the accomplish ment of this great object ; but that his colleagues dif fering with him as to the expediency of such a course in the present posture of affairs, he had felt it his duty to resign. The Duke de BROGLIE followed M. HUMASIN, and expressed deep regret that any diffe rences of opinion should have arisen to deprive the KING and Cabinet of the great and important services of M. HUMANS. On all sides there was a superabundance of courtesy, and the utmost extent of credit for good inten tions. As to M. HUMANN's successor, nobody expects that he will be able to retain office for three months. He is no financier ; and the only reason which the KING could have had for appointing him, must have been a desire to rid himself of the importunities 'of Tit lERs, GUIZOT, and DE BROGLIE—each of whom had a protege of his own ready to accept the Finance De partment, MM. D UCHATEL, SAUZET, DUVER GIER DE HAURANNE, and GASPARIN, were all on the tiptoe of expectation, and as the KING could not have selected one without wounding the self love of the patrons of the others, he took it into his head to disappoint, and at the same time silence all, by nominating as Finance Minister an individual of whose official capacity they had not the slightest comprehension. We are therefore prepared for a variety of other changes in the course of a short time. As to the Five per Cents. there is to be no reduction of the interest upon them during the present Session of the Chambers, nor would the President of the Council take upon himself to state when such a measure would be proposed. In the true style of the Doctrinaires, he told the Cham ber, in answer to a question by M. AUGUSTIN Crraik up, that all would depend upon circumstances. This has had a wonderful effect in the money market. As soon as the speech of DE BROGLIE was known on the Bourse, the Rentes rose one per cent. The National has some severe strictures on the conduct of Captain HYDE PARKER at Barcelona, of whom that Journal observes, that had he been as anxious to prevent the massacre of the Carlist priso ners, as he was to resist the solemn proclamation of the Constitution of Cadiz, the citizens would have been Saved the disgrace which now attaches to them, and, through them, reflects discredit upon the Liberal cause. We are not in a condition to judge of the conduct of Captain HYDE PARKER ; because we do not know whether he was at all aware of the inhu man murder of the Carlists, before the perpetration of that foul act. The officers of the British Navy are as justly celebrated for their humanity as they are for physical courage ; and we cannot bring ourselves to believe that they would positively witness the bar barous massacre of unarmed men by a rabble, acting in defiance of all recognized authority. It is well known that vindictiveness is no part of the English character ; that our countrymen know no enemies in chains ; and that there is not an officer in the British service who would not lose his life rather than suffer a prisoner fairly captured while fighting against England —his native country—to perish by the knife of an assassin. We state this generally, because, as yet, we have no fixed data to go upon ; and it surprises us that a journal of the high character of the National should make a charge so serious on mere assumption, founded upon probability. We have advices from Barcelona to the 11th inst. The Municipality of the town had then prepared an address from the authorities to her Majesty the QUEEN-REGENT, which was to be forwarded to Ma drid by an extraordinary courier. A copy of this do cument is now before us. It begins by stating that Barcelona had escaped the worst horrors of civil war until the 3d inst.—that the atrocities committed on the 4th and sth are deplored by all good men in the city—that peace has been happily restored—and that they are ready to lay down their lives in defence of the Throne of ISABELLA 11. We cannot but express our surprise, that while compliments in abundance are paid to the good sense of the Barcelonians, the loyalty of the Ayuntamiento, and the courage of the National Guard, the address contains not a single allu sion to the gallantry of Captain HYDE PARKER and the brave British Tars who saved the town. This looks very like ingratitude of the basest sort. The accounts from Bayonne are to the 15th instant, and take notice of a skirmish between a convoy escort of Christinos, and a Carlist battalion, between Lerin and Puenta la Reyna, on the Bth, in which some thirty or forty were killed and wounded on each side. The Carlists at last gave way, and the escort proceeded to its destination in safety. We cannot comprehend by what conceivable process the Spaniards contrive to sustain an engagement with so little execution. In this "great battle," as the Spaniards have baptized it, nearly four thousand men engaged, fought valiantly for some hours ; and left the field of battle strewed with -- 1 Total ....................... 19i Total l2 The chances are Lord Lansdowne will lose Caine ; Scar borough is not safe for the Tories en revanche; the race for West Surrey will be neck-and-neck ; South Hants will de pend upon what Government is in, with its appendage, Ports mouth ; and it is _possible North Nottinghamshire may be contested with our Knight of the Dilly. Such casualties being borne in mind, the gain on neither side would justify a disso lution. A more partial or deceitful calculation than this, was never yet attempted to be foisted on the public as «a probable result." Our Contemporary merely selects THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1836 thirty bodies The Spanish guns must be made after the fashion of the Irishman's fusee, viz., to shoot round corners. PARIS, JANUARY 18.—A Journal says—" Some days ago there was remarked in the foyer of the Opera a group of distinguished persons of the Tuileries, who, conversing together with visible emotion, Messrs. Montalivet, Rambutrace, and a physician of the palace were listened to attentively. It was soon afterwards known that they had been conversing of the very alarming state of the health of the Duke of Orleans. It appears that the fatigues of the expedition to Mascara, though of short duration, were sufficiently severe to increase in a very dangerous degree an affection of the chest, with which his Royal Highness has been long since threatened. What is certain is, that the Prince is put under a very strict regimen, and that he only appears at the fetes and balls at Court for the sake of com plying with etiquette. The health of the Duke of Orleans is so precarious, that an unusual crowd of courtiers is al , ready observed in the salons of the Duke of Nemours." We have spoken of the engagement of the Meteore steam-boat with the Carlists. It seems that a report has been spread at St. Sebastian, that this cannonade was only a concerted comedy. M. Vigent, the French Consular Agent in that city, in a letter to the Alcaldi, complains in bitter terms of the ingratitude of the inhabitants of St. Sebastian. MANNHEIM, JAN. 13.—The Tribunal has to-day passed sentence on Gutzkow and Lowenthal. The latter is wholly acquitted ; M. Gutzkow is sentenced to one month's im prisonment, and in one-third of the costs. The Tribunal rejected the accusation of blaspemy and immodesty, but recognised in the Novel Wally, an attack on the Christian religion, an offence punishable by our laws with three months' imprisonment.—Mdssager, Jan. 18. MARRIAGE OF LORD RAMSAY AND LADY SUSAN HAY.—We learn that the marriage, which was de layed on account of the death of a relation, is now fixed to take place on Thursday, the 2lst instant. The tenantry on both estates, the inhabitants of Gifford, and a number of gentlemen from Haddington and other parts of the county, have resolved to dine together in honour of the auspicious event.—Edinburgh Courant. SCOTCH POACHERS.—Four poachers who had not only killed the game of Mr. Stirling of Craigbarnet, but threatened to bring down his keeper, have been committed to the jail of Stirling. MONEY MUNIFICENCE.—A Tory trumpet pro claims the donations of Lord Rolle for the purpose of church-building. The sums are certainly large, and the manner of bestowing them good enough ; but the Western Luminary ought to know that a good giver-away of a por tion of his immense wealth may be a very bad Peer, and exceedingly dangerous, by reason of the wealth and legisla torial functions which he combinedly inherits. FIRE.—In the afternoon of Sunday last, a fire, at tended by loss of life, broke out at Saughton Mills, near Edinburgh. It is supposed that the fire was caused by the flues having been overheated, which set on fire the floors of three flats of the tenement through which they passed. The greater part of the furniture of the dwelling-house above the mills was saved. A crab of very extraordinary size, which weighs Nibs., was caught at Portaferry. It has been forwarded to the Belfast museum. VALUABLE RELlc.—There is now in the pos session of one of our townsmen a most valuable relic namely, a portion of the Sabre Sash worn by Sir Ralph Abereromby when be received his death-wound on the field of Aboukir.—Kelso Chronicle. A few nights since, an attempt was made to de stroy the Triumph schooner, at the Custom-house Quay, Cork, by perforating her larboard quarter in several parts with a large auger or spike, and, had she gone to sea in that state, no doubt she must have foundered. KING'►S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) WAIT AND OTHERS, V. THE GOVERNORS OF THE POOR OF BRISTOL. Their LORDSHIPS were occupied from the sitting of the Court with the further arguments in this case from the new trial paper, which was partly beard yesterday. The question was as to the liability of the defendants to be assessed for the poor rate as the occupiers of certain premises called the Armoury, in the parish of St. Philip and Jacob, Bristol. Mr. Sergeant Ludlow, and Sir W. Follett, appeared in support of the rule, and Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Maule, for the defen dants. The case had not terminated when our reporter left.

The Clio, from Liverpool to Para, was taken possession of by the Indians at Vigia, near Para, previous to the 14th Nov., and, after being plundered, was scuttled—only the second mate saved. The John Miller, Ramsay, from Liverpool to Savannah, was abandoned off Flores on the 25th Nov., being dismasted. , The woman Kennedy, at Springholm, who was shot by Blair, the sheriff-officer, has been considered in a dan gerous state. The steward of Kirkcudbright has taken a precognition into the circumstances of the affray, and Blair has been committed to Kirkcudbright jail for trial.---Duni fries Courier. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. ESQUIMAUX PHILOSOPHY.—Among the Esqui maux, according to Sir John Ross, the crime of murder very rarely occurs. When it does, the murderer's punish ment consists in being banished to perpetual solitude, or shunned by every individual of the tribe, insomuch that even his sight is as oided by all who may inadvertently meet him. "On being asked why his life was not taken in 're turn, it was replied that this would be to make themselves equally bad----that the loss of his life would not restore the other, and that he who could commit such an act vcould be held equally guilty." The arrivals reported this week are moderate of Grain, and good of Fleur. The Wheat trade remains firm at Monday's prices; as also does that of Barley. Beans and Pease are dull. Oats still come in short quantities, and are again rather dearer. Flour remains as last quoted. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. I Flour. English Irish Foreign - - THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.. PRICE OF A TOWN CLERK.—To take the Town Clerk of Liverpool at his own valuation would be a most expensive affair, it seems. Would any body, asks the Li verpool Albion, who knows the late Town-clerk imagine, that tiny being as he is, he is ready to declare, on oath, that his value to the new Corporation is Seventy-seven thousand one hundred and eight pounds ! What an idea the little .fellow must have of his own importance! In the West Indies, an emancipated slave is valued at some forty or fifty pounds : in England, an emancipated Town-clerk values himself at seventy seven thousand one hundred and eight pounds. What a difference in the value of black and white flesh Seventy-seven thousand one hundred and eight pounds ! The estimation is perfectly astounding ; the man who values himself so extravagantly must be the vainest mortal breath ing. Why, at this rate, every pound of Mr. Foster's flesh must be worth, at least, forty, and every ounce some six hundred pounds " of good and lawful money of our sovereign lord the King." Seventy-seven thousand one hundred and eight pounds sterling !—what a sum for a man not five feet five inches high to ask for himself! Why, such a demand, in such a country as Brazil, would prompt to, though it would not justify, some act of personal violence to get quit of him. The demand being, however, a practical joke, there is no fear of the Reformers attempting to "spirit" Mr. Foster out of the way, as the easiest mode of evading his claim They will pay him according to their valuation, and not according to his own, on the rule of law, that no man is a good judge in his own case. He will, at any price, be a hard bargain. e have been at some trouble to give our readers the following statement, which we are enabled to do through the kindness of the collector of the tolls for Smithfield Market. "Number of beasts and sheep sold in Smithfield, during the year 1835 :—Beasts, 182,308 ; sheep, 1,573,410. —Agriculturist. Our arrivals this morning are of a very scanty descrip tion ; only one foreign mail from Calais, with one arrival of ship letters from Honduras. THE FUNDS. The Consol Market continues in the same inactive state as it has been for several days past, and it is thought that little activity will take place in the Funds until Parliament meets. Consols, which closed yesterday at 90i 90* for Money, and 911 for the Account, opened at the same prices this morning. Exchequer Bills, 17 19 ; India Bonds 3 5 ; Bank Stock, 2141 ; India ditto, 252/ 253. In the Foreign Market Spanish Active Bonds, which left off at 4911, have rather improved, and may be quoted 49/ 50. M. Mendizabal's new plan of finance will not appear before the 20th inst., therefore we cannot receive it until the 27th or 28th of the present month.

Consols, which have been in a dormant state for these two days, have taken a stride since the early part of the morning from 91* I to 91* 3 for the Account, and 91* for Money. The public are now looking to the meeting of Parliament with great anxiety ; and according to report the present Ministry is to be modified, but nothing positive is known on the subject at present. Exchequer Bills 19 20 ; India Bonds 3 5 ; Bank Stock 214 i ; India Stock 252* 2533. Tile Foreign Market continues steady ; Spanish Active improved to .50i I ; Portuguese 841 ; 3 per Cents. 54k. The Share Market continues buoyant, particularly for the Brighton Railway-road. Consols far the Account, 911 THREE O'CLOCK. Accounts have been received from the exploring ex pedition under Dr. Smith, dated Meriqua River, July 26. The party had received great attention from the Chief Matsillicatzi, who had expressed his determination to send his principal adviser, Nu-Corubute, as ambassador to the Governor, with a view of establishing a treaty with the white people.- Dr. Smith had penetrated two degrees to the eastward, and made considerable advances to the north, adding a large increase to the collections of the expedition. He had ascertained the point where the waters divide, and crossed the sources of all the streams which flow to the southward and eastward. The character of the country at the rise of the Ky-Gariep, as well as that towards Delagoa Bay, on the west, had been examined. From the summit of a high ridge of mountains, where the party turned back, they saw a range of country at least 60 miles to the east ward, and which must have brought, it is stated, the limit of vision to within an equal distance of Delagoa Bay. In that direction the country was very flat, with the appear ance of a large mountainous range, extending south-east, which Dr. Smith considered was the continuation of that which they ascended in the country of Mosbech, at the sources of the Caledon River. The day after the date of Dr. Smith's letters they were to start directly north, and expected to be within the Tropics. They had a guide, who said he had resided within sight of the Great Lake, but from his description it was feared scarcity of water would prevent their reaching it. Dr. Smith, however, decided, unless the obstacles were insurmountable, to gain a view of this interesting object. The party were in high health and spirits. The Meriqua River, whence these advices are dated, was discovered, it will be remembered, by Messrs. Scoon and M'Luckie, traders, in 1829. It rises in the high lands north of the sources of the Ky-Gariep, or Yel low Orange River, and, taking a direct northerly course for some time, turns to the eastward, and is supposed to reach the coast somewhere in the district of Inhambane. THREE WEEKS AFTER MARRIAGE.—Some little interruption of the peace enjoyed in the quiet town of Kimbolton, occurred last week at a public house there, c illed the White Horse, where it seems a happy pair had only entered upon the blissful state of matrimony three weeks and two days, when some unhappy circumstance took place which the parties endeavoured to arrange, by effecting at least a temporary separation. This was done in rather a summary :nanner, by the tender fair one being placed in the open street with scanty clothing until two o'clock in the morning, the host keeping possession of his house as his castle, until the police of the town stormed the place, and required an explanation, and Mr. John Teedon, the gentleman alluded to, was safely conveyed be fore the Bench at St. Neots, on Thursday, and after a patient investigation of the whole affair, the magistrates ordered that the said John Teedon should be effectually separated for one whole year from his beloved wife, by being lodged in the county gaol and kept on the prison allowance of bread and water only, and in strict silence during that period, unless he in the mean time should happily succeed in finding sufficient sureties to be bound with himself in the sum of 1001., not to attempt during that time to break a contract in such an illegal and uncourteous manner.— Cambridge Chronicle. ORIGIN OF THE NEWSPAPER STAMP.—S 0 im portant were these libellous publications deemed, that the Queen (Anne) concludes one of her messages to Parlia ment, by representing the licentiousness of the press. Sh e is made to declare, that by seditious papers and factious rumours, designing men have been able to sink credit, and the innocent have suffered ; and she recomments the House to find a remedy equal to the mischief. In obedience to the Queen's desire, and at the instance of her Secretary, the Parliament passed a Bill (1712-13), imposing a stamp upon pamphlets and periodical publications---the origin of the present newspaper stamp. At its origin the amount of this stamp was only a halfpenny ; and it is curious to ob serve what an effect this trifling impost had upon the cir culation of the most favourite papers. Many were entirely discontinued, and several of those which survived were generally united into one publication. The Bill operated in a directly contrary manner to what the Ministers had anticipated ; for the Opposition, who had more leisure, and perhaps more acrimony of feeling, were unanimous in the support of their cause. The adherents of Ministers, who were by no means behind the Opposition in their proficiency in the topic of defamation, ware, it seems, not so stre nuously supported ; and the measure thus chiefly destroyed those whom it was Bolingbroke's interest to proteet. The insufficiency of his expedient soon become apparent to him self, and we find, from his correspondence, that Boling broke was often employed in prosecuting the printers of those papers which were most violent against him, —C oo ke, Life of Bolingbroke. UNSTAMPED NEWSPAPERS.—At the Leeds Court-house, on Saturday, Mr. Joshua Hobson, bookseller, of Market -street, and Mrs. Alice Mann, bookseller, of Cen tral Market, in that town, were brought up, the former charged with selling, at different times, four copies of un stamped newspapers, and the latter with five similar offences. Mr. Marshall, barrister, appeared in support of the informa tions, which were laid at the instance of the Stamp-office. Mr. John Fawcett, a travelling bookseller, appointed by the Stamp-office to inspect hawkers' licenses, proved his having purchased of the defendants the whole of the papers men tioned in the informations. Both the defendants admitted having sold the papers, and that they contained public news. Mr. Marshall made an offer, on the part of the Stamp-office, to convict the defendants in one penalty each, and let the others be suspended, if they would promise to abstain from selling such publications in future, and both of them refused to make such a promise ; and the magis trates convicted the former in the full amount of 201. upon each of the four informations, and the latter in the full penalty of '2Ol. on each of the five informations, or, in default of payment, to be committed to prison for six months. The Bench requested to know whether the defendants in tended to pay the fines, or appeal against the convictions. They replied that they did not intend to do either. The Mayor then ordered them to be immediately committed for six months each to York Castle.—Halifax Express. The French boast that the colony of Algiers has been the source of prosperity to Marseilles. The Gazette du Midi gives the receipt of customs of that town to have been nearly 31 millions of francs in 1833, 30 millions in 1834, and but 28f in 1835. PERSONAL PECULIARITIES OF DR. JOHNSON. —Johnson's countenance, when in good humour, was no t disagreeable. His face clear, his complexion good, and his features not ill-formed, many ladies have thou g h t t h ey m i g ht iot have been unattractive when he was you ng ._ Much misrepresentation has prevailed on this subj ec t amo ng such as did not personnlly know him. That he had had some whimsical peculiarities of the nature described by Mr. Boswell, is certainly true ; but there is no reason to believe they proceeded from any superstitious motives, wherein religion was concerned ; they are rather to be ascribed to the' mental distempers" to which Boswell has so repeatedly alluded. 4 j ,; FROM THE “ PORTFOLIO." COPY OF A VERY SECRET DESPATCH FROM COUNT POZZO DI BORGO. Dated Paris, the 28th of November, 1828. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) This disposition is very naturally the consequence of that species of European amalgam to which we have had to as sociate the special policy of the empire. The interest of all the others is to retain us there, because they thus pos sess more chances of impeding our progress—ours should tend to deliver us imperceptibly, by the force of events, and without having the air, if possible, of being desirous to escape from them. The surest method of accomplishing this object—which is essential to our present and future independence—is, to evade, unaffectedly, the ill-timed negotiation which the Courts of Europe would wish to bring about during the winter, and to put ourselves in a state to enter upon the ensuing campaign with preparatives and forces that shall carry every thing before them. This, I trust, is not above our means. The Emperor has acquired the experience in the late campaign ; his Majesty has seen and judged of the obstacles : he has be come acquainted with what the foresight of his subordi nates could not even guess. The generals, the heads of the corps, the officers themselves, will not be surprised at the manner in which the enemy resisted their valour. It will be known beforehand what materiel is requisite for the pro posed operations, and it will be supplied in time. In short, it will no longer be a trial, but a decisive combat, main tained with all the means which must render its issue favourable to us. The considerate cautiousness on our part, which has only served to embolden the enemy, and to furnish the malevo lent sentiments of Austria particularly, and a great portion of the English public, with an opportunity of blackening with calumny acts of the most honourable generosity, must entirely cease. We will allow the Christians to combat their tyrants, and we will raise up against our enemy all the tempests he invokes, as they become a part of our natural defence, and a means of forcing him to submit to those con ditions which our honour and our safety require that we should impose upon him. Your Excellency knows, that from the first moment that the question of war was debated, I took the liberty of submit ting to you the opinion of reducing the principal fortresses which defend the entry to the interior provinces of the Otto man empire, and consequently the approaches to the ca pital. Some of these bulwarks are already in our hands ; the ethers, particularly those which are on the Danube, must be ours. When possessed of them, we shall not only be free in all our other movements, but we shall have a formidable frontier against the attacks of Austria. In fact, she can only inflict a serious blow by entering the principalities and threatening our communications. If we once established ourselves on both banks of the Danube, it would be Austria who would be deficient in points d'appui, in case she descended into the plains, whilst we, in our turn, should be enabled to threaten the forces she might thus risk. These ideas are those which I have recognized in the expose of the Russian Cabinet—in which I have followed the project of carry ing on operations on the Danube, and at the same time of sending forward a sufficient army, protected by Varna and the fleet, and guaranteed by a corps of observation against Choumla. This plan, supported by all the means of commanding its success, may, in two months time, lay the Ottoman Empire bare, and place its fate (dependant on the will) in the hands of the Emperor. It is then that the Cabinets of Europe will redouble their efforts to force the Sultan ,to make peace, because they will see that they can save him only by a treaty. This unanimity can exist in this case only, for in every other case, and if the question were that of hosti lities against Russia, it would be impossible that they should agree among themselves. This situation would be the most suitable one for the Emperor. With the power of doing more, his Majesty would consent to demand less, and this minimum would merely consist in the propositions contained in the confidential exposé of your Excellency - . To attain this superiority appears to me what ought to be the aim of all our efforts. This superiority has now become a condi tion of our political existence, such as we must establish it and maintain it in the eyes of the world and our own. Our adversaries, and it must be owned that we have adversaries, have conceived hopes to the contrary, their towards us has overcome their accustomed dissimulation ; we have nothing more to learn on that score. Nothing more re mains for us to do than to prove the reverse by facts, and we are enabled to do so. It would, in my opinion, be committing a very great fault, were we inclined to weaken our strength on the real theatre of war, in order to leave considerable forces on other distant points, where we must merely be on observation. Austria alone can attack us. Before she decides upon that, we shall be warned of her intentions by her movements. If they are directed against any part of our frontiers, remote from - the Danube, they would soon cease, and would not, like all eccentric diversions, produce great effect. If, on the contrary, they are directed, as is most probable, in the supposition advanced, so as to interrupt by its immediate influence our operations against the Turks, we shall then have it in our power to paralyse them, in proportion as we shall have at our immediate command troops to oppose to them. For it does not appear impossible so to dispose of our armies. That they might at the same time be able to feed the war against Turkey, and to keep the 'Court of Vienna in (en imposer) respect, if it dared to compromise itself so far as to force us to have it for our enemy. These questions, Monsieur le Comte, belong to more competent authorities than mine, and who have under their eye both the ensemble and the details necessary to give re gularity to such essential and nice combinations. If I make mention of them it is rather a wish that I express than a settled opinion that I offer, in the hope that what ever shall be decided on relating to this important object, will be conformable to the nature of the operations which we have to undertake and to the objects which it imports us to accomplish. The foregoing considerations, and those still more lu minous and decisive enumerated in the confidential note of your Excellency, which I have constantly taken as my guide, appear to me to lead us naturally to the following conclusions :- 1. That the results of the campaign just ended, is not decisive enough to allow the Emperor to treat with a probability of success, and even without prejudicing the political object his Majesty has in view. 2. That a second campaign is indispensable, in order to acquire the superiority requisite for the success of the ne gotiation. 3. That when this negotiation shall take place, we must be in a state to dictate the conditions of it in a prompt and rapid manner, in such a manner that the European powers shall, if possible, learn the termination together with the commencement. 4. That our friends and enemies will expect, as far as regards them, to see us display great means at the com- mencement of the military operations, and that the impres sion caused by the events which will occur d ur i ng t h e second campaign, will have infinitely more influence upon the idea which Europe will form of the forces of the empire, and of the talent which directs them, than they had in the former ; because the former was considered merely as a trial, while the following one will be looked upon as the ne plus ultra of our moral and material resources as applicable to war, and that consequently it is in presence of all these truths and obligations that we must begin it. (To be continued.) Fieschi, upon learning that his trial would com mence on the 30th instant, said to the huissier of the Court of Peers who notified to him the act of accusation, " Ah I diavolo ! you have seen your hair grow gray, but mine will never grow gray." Pepin exclaimed, " What ! already ? Are there no means of putting it off ?" " You will be the sooner set at liberty," replied the huissier. Morey displays his usual tranquillity, and Boireau is very cheerful. A 'Wiltshire paper states it as a prevalent rumour, that Paul Methuen, Esq., of Corsham House, Devizes, is about to be raised to the Peerage. TALLEYRAND AND THE WAGER OF OYSTERS. —What schoolboy is there who would not claim the story of Talleyrand's oyster breakfast ? This was the payment of a wager which M. de Talleyrand had won of the Duke de Laval. The oysters, according to the conditions agreed upon, were to be furnished for 12 persons ; moreover, the winner was to have the r i g ht o f nam i ng th e 10 ot h er guests. Did M. de Talleyrand, in this case, act as everybody else would have done—invite 10 of his friends ? No such thing : this was very far indeed from his inten tion. He made very careful inquiries for 10 of the greatest oyster-eaters in Paris. These he chose for his guests ; so that the Duke de Laval had to pay for 500 dozen. One of the actors in this breakfast, a very amiable man, fond of good eating, and an excellent singer, was M. Cloisseau, for merly an attorney, who on this occasion was appointed king of the feast. To the great satisfaction of the Am phictyon who did not pay, he swallowed, without the least hesitation, his 54th dozen ; after which he stopped, alleging as a pretence that he must partake of the other dainties of the breakfast. —Life of Talleyrand. NAPOLEON AND THE" MONITEUR."—During his residence in St. Helena, Napoleon, on one occasion, spoke a great deal of the Le g i on of Honour, of Golds mith ' s Collection, and of the Moniteur. Respecting the latter, he said that it was certainly a very remarkable circumstance, and one of which few besides himself could boast, that he had made his way through the revolution at so early an age, and with so muc h notor i ety , w ithout haying , !o dread the Moniteur. " Th ere i s no t a sentence in it, said he, " which I could wish to obliterate ; on the contrary, the Moniteu r w ill i n f a llibl y serve m e as a justification ,, when ever I may h ave occas i o n for it,"—Las Cases Meinozrs. (Colburn's edition.) IRELAND. BELFAST DINNER.—On Friday last the Belfast Society held their third Anniversary Dinner. The usual toasts artfl speeches were drunk and delivered. The _Dublin Mail, who thought it worth while to send down a special reporter, is exultant, devotes fourteen columns to the report of what was said and done upon the occasion by Tories and politi cians of the doubtful genus. The Marquis of Downshire's conduct is lauded most liberally. TEMPORAL PEER.—The election terminated in giving majority of 59 votes to Lord Dunsaney over the more 11- beral candidate Lord Lismorc. TITHES—THE INQUEST.—We have not received any further particulars of the proceedings on this inquest since our last number, but we learn that an adjournment took place from Newtown to Charleville, on Thursday, on which day the case for the prosecution closed, and that for the police was to commence yesterday, with no likelihood of its closing for two or three days. The anxiety and excite ment increased every hour, and in this state the country will be kept while the accursed cause which produces it is suffered to exist.—Goth Reporter of Saturday. WAR WITH THE DEAD.—The parsons are determined to shew value for the blood-money which they exact at the bayonet's point from their Catholic parishioners. They will read prayers over the graves of Catholics, whether requested to do so or not. What a portrait for a spiritual Quixote would a Parson be, with a prayer-book in his hand, a coffin at his feet, a magistrate as a clerk at his side, and a con gregation of policemen, worshipping God, not " on the top of their staffs," but on their bullet loaded muskets 1 This is a scene that sickens. It appears from a letter in the Dublin Freeman, which the editor says can be authenticated by several respectable gentlemen, the people assembled to convey the remains, of a young man who died in the Roman Catholic faith to the church-yard of Rathmore, adjacent to the splendid mansion and fertile glebe of one of the starving parsons, Rev. Mr. Olde—" When the procession approached the church-yard," says the writer, "you may judge what the feelings of the people were, when they saw the above-men tioned rev. gentleman preparing to read the funeral service, at the interment of one whom he well knew to have died in the Roman Catholic faith. He was guarded by seven police, with loaded muskets, during the ceremony. The people were provoked at this outrage to a very high de gree, but they remained quiet. It was well they did so, as it is very probable blood would have been shed." MR. RUTHTVEN, M. P. The Mail says that "the Committee of the Kildare-street Club came to a resolution for submitting a notice for the expulsion of Mr. Edward Ruthven, the Member for Kil dare, in consequence of the late decision of the Turf Club, unless his withdrawal should be officially notified to the Secretary before twelve o'clock on Friday night." Mre- Ruthven sent in his resignation immediately. DEATH OF MR. RONAYNE, M.P. The respected Member for Clonmel is no more. Letters reached town on Saturday morning, stating his death after one week's illness, at his seat near Youghal, early on th• morning of Friday last. The immediate cause of this melancholy event was an attack of bilious fever. A more honest, high-minded, disinterested, and manly Irishman, never pledged his fortunes to the fate of his country. We never knew a man more single-minded, more sincere, and zealous in the cause of liberal opinions, and the especial welfare of Ireland.—Dublin Register. The Commissioners for Slave Compensation have judiciously rescinded the rule by which separate powers of attorney were required from the possessors of property in different colonies, which was found to be exceedingly incon venient in practice, and ruinous in many cases in point of expense. On inspection and more careful consideration of the Act of Parliament, it is held to be perfectly clear that no such multiplication of powers of attorney is authorized by it. This discovery is made somewhat of the latest, and cannot remedy the evil already inflicted by the rule on which the commissioners have acted up to the present time. In future, however, it is understood that one power will suffice for the property belonging to one person, in whatever manner it may be distributed over the colonies.—Morning Paper. Some strange and scarcely intelligible notions are afloat in the Money-market on the subject of Spanish Finance, descriptive of a project said to have originated with Mendizabal, but which could not have entered the mind of any Minister, or man, possessed of the least know ledge of the matter. The basis of the project is some arrangement by which the Deferred and Passive may be converted into Active Debt, but this is said to require, as a preliminary, that the price of the Active Stock, which is now about 50, should advance to 60, and that ths price of the Deferred and Passive Stock should at the same time remain stationary—a state of things which is impossible, es a relative value for those securities is now established in the market, according to which they rise or fall together. Neither is it easy to conceive by what process the general estimate of the value of the Active Stock is to be so altered for the better as to cause it to rise 10 per cent., or one' fifth of its current quotation. It is matter of some curio' sity to ascertain through what channel such an unintelligible statement can have got into circulation ; that it must have been wholly misunderstood by the party to whom it was described is clear ; but it is also evident that something must have been described, and in that case we might expect to find among the friends of Mendizabal in this country some description of the project which should be at least consistent, and enable us to reconcile the parts with each other. There is not, however, any information of the kind to be met with. The conjecture is (which in this must supply the place of information), that Mendizabal intends to offer to the holders of Deferred and Passive Stock the option of making it active, on payment of such a sum, or nearly so, as constitutes the difference of price between them in the market. Some think that his intentions i" this respect refer to the Deferred Stock only, and that he will make the Passive Stock productive to his resources , by allowing it to become in part payable in the purchases of national property, which would make the remaining payment in money less onerous to the purchaser. In such an operation, which, though not absolutely a loan, par takes very much o f th a t c h arac t er , t h e diffi cu lt y would be the delay that must take place, and the disadvantageous terms, in the present state of the market, under which it must be carried into effect. For an intermediate supply of funds, therefore, it is believed that an application co the part of Spain has been to France and England through the Ambassadors, in Madrid, for a loan, or the guarantee of a loan, of between 2,000,0001. and 3,000,0001., the greater portion of it to be devoted to the payment of the dividends on the public foreign debt. In the even t of success in this application, the measure of conversion of the Deferred and Passive Stock will, it is supposed, be at' tempted, and probably under much more favourable cir cumstances than at present. Of course it is impossible yet to say what reception this proposition has met with from the French and English Governments.—Morn. Paper. The following is an extract from a letter received by a gentleman at Wimborne, from a friend on board the brig Charybdis, on the Sierra Leone station :—" I have the pleasure to inform you that after a three days' chase we succeeded in getting up with a Spanish brig, and she sur rendered this morning with 429 slaves on board. When we first spied her she had 480 on board, but fifty of those on the upper deck, 3,000 yams, an anchor, and cable, w ere thrown overboard to make sail from us, but all to no pur pose ; get away from us she could not, do what she would. ° This is the third capture made by the Charybdis since she has been on the station.—Salisbury Herald. Wednesday evening Lieut. Walker, keeper of the Formby Lighthouse, near Liverpool, observed a small sloop aground on one of the Formby Banks. Lieut. Walker lost not a moment in manning the life boat, and with a crew of six men put off to the assistance of the sloop. They had not, however, proceeded far from the shore when from the extreme violence of the surf the life boat was upset, and Lieut. Walker and fiv e o f th e crew met a watery grave . The surviving seaman has not yet sufficiently recovered to give a particular account of this melancholy affair. Lieut. Walker was much respected, and his untimely fate is 11W' vernally regretted. INQUEST UPON THE BODY OF JANE WooD• —The whole neighbourhood of Tallow Hill was thrown into the greatest excitement on Sunday morning last, bY, the report of the death of a female about nineteen years a age, said to have been caused by the cruel treatment of her own father and s t e p-mother. The nam e o f th e d ecea sed was Jane Wood, and who resided at the above place. The judicial authorities were called upon to interfere, but here, as in many cases on previous occasions within the last fe' weeks, a difficulty arose, through the Municipal Reform Act, as to whose duty it was to make the necessary quiry into the cause of the deceased' s d eat h . H owev er, it was ultimately determined, that as Tallow Hill wad within the Parliamentary Boundary, it came within the jurisdiction of Mr. Hyde as the city Coroner, and that gentleman proceeded on Monday morning to hold an in' quisition upon the body. Aft er t h e Court had been opene d ' and other preliminary business proceeded with, the Jury expressed a wish that two surgeons should be engaged to make a post 'nor tem examination upon the body, and to al.' low time for which, Mr. Hyde adjourned the inquest u ntil five o'clock in the evening. At the hour named, th e Jury re-assembled at th e R am publ i c-house, an d proceede d to examine witnesses ; after which the Jury retired, and a fter a consultation of about twenty minutes, returned the fel' lowing verdict We find that Jane Wood died by the Visitation of God ; but that her death has been greatly accelerated by the ill-treatment of her family, in not suP„'' plyin g her with proper nourishment and medical assistance. — Worcester Paper. .~
